IQ Modulates Coupling Between Diverse Dimensions of Psychopathology in Children and Adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Correlations between cognitive ability and psychopathology are well recognized, but prior research has been limited by focusing on individuals with intellectual disability, single-diagnosis psychiatric populations, or few measures of psychopathology.
